FC Edmonds select program follows the philosophy of our parent organization, Sno-King Youth Club, that "Everyone Gets to Play".
FCE coaches set their own cost schedule based on several factors, including number of tournaments, replacement of equipment and team functions. During the 2023-2024 season the average cost for club registration was $935, with the lowest fee of $850 and the highest $1250. The club fee includes year-around practice on turf fields, typically 3 summer tournaments and one state championship tournament, a 10-game fall season and for non-high Schoolers an 8-game spring season, national player registration, replacement equipment, coaches' licensure, and team functions. FC Edmonds base kit (2 jerseys, shorts, socks and training tee) is $150, and full kit (including warmups and backpack) for $265 is an additional cost. Kits are purchased for a two-year cycle, with 2024-2025 being the second year. Only newly formed teams and players new to the program will need to purchase kits in the 2024-25 playing year.
The FCE playing season is mid-May until late April the following year. FCE recognizes that our children have other activities in their life and makes allowances for those activities, especially outside of the regular soccer season. That said, coaches do appreciate knowing when players have other commitments so they can plan.
FCE has a scholarship program for those families that may not be able to afford the entire cost. In 2023-24 the club was able to award 24 scholarships assisting those that might not have the opportunity to play at a competitive level. A portion of the registration fee goes toward the scholarship program.
All FCE coaches are nationally licensed with many of them holding advanced diplomas/licensure. Coaches are all volunteers.
Unlike some programs, FC Edmonds endeavors to have all practices at the same field complex (Lynnwood High School) throughout the year. in those instances when an alternate location is used it is still within the Edmonds School District, we understand bouncing from one location to another for weekly practices can cause undue stress on the kids and their families.
